FAQ

Where do I enter my door opening size?Use the drop down menu to select your door opening width.

How do I measure my door opening?Measure the finished opening (where you are going to install your swinging cafe doors) from inside edge to inside edge. You want to measure your opening in at least two or three different places to make sure the opening is not larger in one location compared to another. Enter the smallest number into the field "Door Opening Size Inches".

When will my doors ship?All orders are custom made to the exact opening size. We ship 7-14 days after we receive your order.

Can I get my doors faster than 7-14 days?Yes, give us a call to ask about our expedited shipping services, which are available at an additional cost.

What material is the best selection for my doors?Since most custom options are hardwood and 1 3/8" in thickness, the answer will depend upon the finish you are planning for your doors. If you are painting the doors, poplar is an excellent choice. If you are staining the door, there are several options available: oak, sapele, pine, or ash. We currently only offer our Professional Finishing on Oak. If you are in need of Professional Staining on sapele or ash, please contact us.

At what height should I install my doors?For our standard height doors (38"), we recommend that you install them so that the bottom of the doors will be about 20" off the floor.
